Stream your Sonos music high end!

The ease of use of the Sonos is unsurpassed, however, there is room for sonic improvements. Through this modification your Sonos Connect (or ZP90) will be transformed into a high-end streamer!

TheULTIMOupgrade is described as improving musicality, tranquility, spaciousness and detailing. The characteristic "ragged" (digital) noise, which is caused by jitter, is history after upgrading. The sound is smooth and relaxed compared to that of the Magna. One would completely forget that this is a digital source!

If youpurchase a complete Sonos Connect Ultimo you receive automatically 2 years full warranty!

TECHNICAL INFORMATION ULTIMO UPGRADE

The Magna modification replaces the current "inaccurate" clock oscillator for a highly accurate clock. In many high-end equipment a lot of attention is put into this, and not without reason! Also the power supply is upgraded. It is a switching power supply with all its adverse consequences. The switching frequency can be measured even in the digital audio field of Sonos without much difficulty. This is what we eliminate, increasing the performance in terms of sound. The new, high-precision clock oscillator will have a separate power branch with a very pure DC to have the clock perform at its very best. Finally, the SPDIF output is re-clocked and buffered to get rid it of the last jitter.

ULTIMO UPGRADE SPECIFICATIONS

Modification is executed on Coax SPDIF output, the optical output (TOS Link) is being 'disabled' (can be re-enabled as an option, see options)

Original digital SPDIF signal is internally "re-clocked" and buffered to eliminate any remaining jitter.

Standard (poor) SPDIF RCA chassis part is replaced with new gold plated connector.

The Oscillator module is powered by separate power branch including special (ultra wide band) power regulator for optimized operation and precision of the Tentlabs oscillator
